#guitarsky Amp Speaker question. My amp started making weird sounds this weekend. I opened it up and there's a weird hole (silvery spot to the left of the hole for the screw inside the rim) in the speaker. Except, is that hole supposed to be there? I'd say no. Help? New speaker time?
hole right on the inside of the rim, not the screw hole!

A poem by James Tate for the first full-on rainy day if fall.
